Additional Comments
Game is running on Steam. When it launches, the game changes my screen resolution. It does not set it back when closed, so I have to manually change it in the Nvidia control panel. This is a fresh Ubuntu install, so everything is on default configuration. Using Nvidia G92 [GeForce 9800 GTX+] with binary drivers.

Sound stuttering happened rarely but was resolved by restarting pulse audio. Kill pulse with 'pulseaudio -k'. Check if killed with 'ps -ef | grep pulse'. Restart with run dialog (ALT-F2) and 'pulseaudio -D'

My problem was solved by running Braid in a virtual desktop:
"wine explorer /desktop=braid,800x600 braid.exe"
This is also achievable by configuring application-specific settings for braid.exe using "winecfg"

wine-1.1.34-251-g1d0e02b
Installed demo through steam.
At first run it installed some directx stuff, as mentioned in the test result.
Then it hang. It hang the whole mac.
Tried again, hang again.
The only way out is a hard reset, no key combination worked, only the mouse pointer kept moving (it was the windows pointer) but was completely unable to do anything.
wtf, an app shouldn't be able to takeover all the input this way.

Whenever I make a sound in the game it is echoed/repeated like 5 times, and that includes the music. It is very annoying, and other steam games seem to work fine with sound.
I've tried both ALSA and OSS in winecfg, as well as starting with padsp, no change.
Anyone else have this problem?

There are three reasons why I've rated Braid gold.
a) You have to download d3dx9_36.dll from
www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?d3dx9_36
Then copy-paste it in your
./wine/drive_c/windows/system32/
folder and finally, in Wine's configuration utility (in terminal, the command "winecfg"), go to "Libraries" tab, press "Add" and select d3dx9_36.dll from the list. Then, edit it and change it to "native". Apply changes and exit.
This is for the game to start, or else it will complain that d3dx9_36.dll is missing. By the way, Windows users seem to have a similar problem.
b) I am not sure if this is a universal problem but after I exit the game, the resolution is messed up and then I have to kill the X server to fix it.
What I'm doing to prevent this is part of what Bontas Marcel has suggested.

-------------------------------------------------
#! /bin/bash
cd /path_to_the_FOLDER_that_contains_braid.exe/
wine braid.exe && xrandr --size 1680x1050

Finally open the terminal and give
cd ~/Desktop && chmod +x Braid
This file serves as desktop shortcut for braid.exe. Also, every time you exit the game, your normal resolution will be restored.
c) It might be just me but the game doesn't always run smoothly. I have to quit and start it again several times for it run perfectly. Not sure why this happens.
